I Am Generess

Thanks for All You've Done

The I Am Generess program has closed and we can confidently say that a little pill certainly made a BIG difference! Since it began in 2011, the I Am Generess program donated a total of $368,912 to the participating charities. In partnership with people like you, we supported non-profit organizations that are dedicated to improving women's health and overall well-being. Because of you, I Am Generess was a success and we were able to help so many women in need. Bravo!

COMING SOON!

Keep making a difference in the lives of other women with iact4women!
